COVID-19 has wreaked havoc across the country and in Iowa, including Polk County.
Not only has it been a health issue, but it has caused financial strain for many. But with the opening of Iowa’s first Financial Empowerment Center (FEC), Polk County residents will receive the opportunity to receive free financial coaching.
According to a Polk County press release, financial coaches will offer a variety of services and advise individuals on paying down debt, increase savings, establish and build credit, and banking products.
"The Opening of the Financial Empowerment Center could not come at a better time,’’ Polk County Supervisor Matt McCoy said in a press release. "Individuals and families of all income levels are feeling financial stress from COVID-19 and the FEC is an excellent free resource to help create new budgets and identify additional sources of assistance."
The FEC is a partnership with Polk County, the Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund and the Evelyn K. Davis Center for Working Families.
For an appointment, contact the Evelyn K. Davis Center at 515-697-7700 or online at www.empowermoney.org.
